From the Ted Talk "Tristram Wyatt: The smelly mystery of the human pheromone"

Unscramble the Blue Letters

So what should we be doing in our hearsc for human pheromones? I'm fairly convinced that we do have them. We're lmsamma, like everybody else who's a mammal, and we probably do have them. But what I think we should do is go right back to the beginning, and aiabcllsy look all over the body. No mreatt how embarrassing, we need to search and go for the first time where no one else has dared tread. It's going to be difficult, it's going to be embarrassing, but we need to look. We also need to go back to the edisa that Butenandt used when he was studying the silk moth. We need to go back and look systematically at all the molecules that are being produced, and work out which ones are really involved. It isn't good enough simply to pluck a couple and say, "They'll do." We have to actually demonstrate that they really have the effects we claim.

So what should we be doing in our search for human pheromones? I'm fairly convinced that we do have them. We're mammals, like everybody else who's a mammal, and we probably do have them. But what I think we should do is go right back to the beginning, and basically look all over the body. No matter how embarrassing, we need to search and go for the first time where no one else has dared tread. It's going to be difficult, it's going to be embarrassing, but we need to look.
